Where the arguments take us. (Video Roulette)

Satire:  Brilliant when it reiforces what we believe,  dishonest, manipulating, and stupid when it challenges what we believe.

Satire is strange, in that it must as a form, take what is weak in an argument, and make it weaker (or bolder) through exaggeration.   So satire is, in one sense, inherently dishonest.  It thrives in the market of distortion.  On the other hand, it has the unique ability to lshow us the weakness of a certain claim.

Science is Delusional  (strong satire,  wrong end)
